From the Author:
Hello, my name is LM Preston, and I’ve invited the main
character from Purgatory Reign to visit, Peter Saints. Please enjoy.
1. How old are you?
I’m seventeen years old. My birthday
just past, but no gifts made it my way. Guess I ticked off Pastor Finn too much
this year, and he figures making me wait for a present will make me admit to
the stupidity of my wacked up ways. Not happening.
2. Describe where you sleep.
Sleep? Man, who sleeps in an
orphanage filled with kids who all got the stink of a chip on their shoulder?
But if you wanna know where I lay my head, it’ll be a toss up between the hole
in the cellar on a raggedy mattress or in the converted pantry closet of the
orphanage.
3. Where do you have a scar or birthmark? Describe
circumstances surrounding your scars.
You would ask me about it. The scar
– or gift, Hanna told me it was. But she put it there, right on the palm of my
hand, as revenge I think – for causing her death. I’m not talking about it
anymore, cause it’s something no one’s supposed to know about. Haven’t figured
out why yet, but it scared Pastor Finn to death when he saw it.
4. Do you have an embarrassing habit?
Well, it’s not embarrassing as I kinda
do it on purpose. At the orphanage, Pastor Finn makes us speak ‘proper English’
and every once in awhile, I slip into slang. I don’t know if subconsciously, I
do it to tick him off, or if it’s a bad habit. But I do know it irritates the
heck out of Pastor Finn and usually gets a laugh or two out of the other kids.
5. What is something you feel guilty about?
Guilt. Now that’s a word I’m not
wanting to hear. I got a lot of it, and it all stems from the fact that I’ve
caused the death of at least three people I cared about. I don’t know why, but
I’m cursed or something. And even with the death of my parents, Hanna’s death,
in my heart I know I caused it.
6. Describe yourself sitting in your favorite spot.
In the cellar. I’m alone there. And
me being alone is probably the safest thing for me or anyone around me.
7. Tell me about your family?
My father was the best dad anyone
could ask for. Really he was. Now Pastor Finn ain’t bad either, and he’s all I
got now. My mother, she’s an Island girl, smells like roses and loved me enough
to throw herself in front of a killer to save me.
8. What do you do to have fun?
Dancing is my thing. I love to do
it. I sneak out of the orphanage all the time to go to the club, dance and joke
around with the girls there. When I’m not doing that, I like to tick off Pastor
Finn so him and I can fight it out, then he takes me on the back roads to drive
his sports cars. Don’t let that get out about him letting me drive his cars,
the other kids at the orphanage don’t know, and if they did, they’d probably
start ticking him off as much as I do.
9. What kind of girl would you fall for?
I like my girl gorgeous with some
fight in her. She can’t be a pushover, but she’s got to love me – only me,
cause I don’t share. Ever.
10. What’s
the next big thing?
To keep running until I find someone
or something I can call - home.

Excerpt
Purgatory Reign:
Peter took a
moment to catch his breath. “I left. I left the grounds. But something’s bad
has happened. Sh-she…Hanna died!” He coughed and his eyes watered. “Because of
me! My fault. It was my fault. You gotta help her! I always screw up. Always.
Please…”
Pastor Finn put
his hands on Peter’s shoulders and shook him. “Why’d you leave? I told you
never to leave here. You’ll put us all in danger. Yourself in danger. I didn’t
save your butt for you to screw this up, boy.” He yanked Peter by the shirt and
down the stairs. Then dragged him, practically running, all the way to the
cellar stairs where he pointed at the small door where Peter had escaped.
“Sixteen years old and you think you are man enough to make it out there?” he
grumbled. “This is where you got out?” He sighed. “You don’t understand.”
“It’s my fault!
Did you hear me? I killed someone! You gotta help her.” Peter jerked out of his
grasp and grabbed Pastor Finn’s shirt, facing off with him. For once in a long
while, he stared down the man eye to eye. He straightened up to his full
height. The older man’s gray crew cut and piercing blue eyes were filled with
fear. Peter’s hand loosened in shock that it was the first time he remembered
that Pastor Finn looked afraid.
“I can’t help
the dead.” He pushed Peter’s hands away from him. “But I have to help you. Come
with me.” Peter watched him, confused. His teeth clenched at Pastor Finn’s
betrayal. “I thought you were different. I have to go back. Bury her, like she
deserves.” Peter stumbled backwards.

Excerpt Deviant Storm:
He screwed up.
So bad, he didn’t think he could fix it. Peter tossed the ball against the wall
once more as he drowned out Kyle’s words. He never admitted everything that had
happened to him in the Stronghold to Kyle. Didn’t think he could. One thing for
sure, time was up. Peter was through waiting to be told what to do by the
Elders of at this dump who seemed to have their own agendas. Dealing with the
nightmares of what he’d done - possibly killing a man by pulling something
beyond evil out of him, plagued Peter every night. Those times when he wasn’t
careful, it pressed his thoughts, even when awake.
“We’ll go get
her.” Peter’s dark brown eyes landed on Kyle’s questioning blue ones.
